My Teaching Philosophy
My philosophy is that an effective educator must cultivate a deep sense of personal responsibility and proactivity in students. Instead of simply providing new information, I attempt to foster their ability to self-navigate the expanse of knowledge available in our world. By crafting a classroom environment that is both welcoming and challenging, I create a space where students can freely express their individuality and moral character. I aim to equip them with the necessary tools to embark on a lifelong quest for truth and virtue, in which they will be able to navigate the complexities of their professional and personal lives with courage, honesty, and integrity.

Why I’m at NU
Because I am devoted to Northwood’s unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional business education focusing on smaller class sizes and personalized student mentorship. It is a privilege to be part of an institution that cultivates in students a profound understanding of the significance of personal responsibility within the framework of a free enterprise system. In an era when academic freedom is gradually diminishing, Northwood stands out as a haven for scholars who value independent inquiry and the exploration of subjects that might not coincide with current trends in academia. At Northwood, I can freely pursue the truth and fulfill my responsibilities as a scholar and educator.
